Inclusion is a practice that comes from the core value of wanting to include all students no matter where they are academically.

In part one, we want to share with attendees how the framework was developed, discuss the various components of the framework, the assessment that was used to determine “current state†with self-advocates, families, and internal team members, and how we used that assessment to develop a project pl
